@-In its labored article against city extern
sion the Journal made the rather singular obser-
walton that if the city would only wait "the Belt,
of its own accord will take steps to look after its
own interests" and that when this comes to pass
the city will "get the apple ripe" In replying
to this tacit admission that the city will eventu-
ally get the Belt The Sun says: "Does this mean
when the Republicans take hold of it the apple
will get suddenly ripe? Some Democrats, We adj
NIT, seem to be squirting in that direction already,
but the Democratic party will do we'll to remem-
Der that the interests of the city the interests
of the State and that it is rather serious rehec-
ton upon them that the Republicans should be
called in to do what every consideration ofpoicy,

MS The Merchants and Msnufacturers' Asso-
citation and the Board of Trade of Baltimore have
taken up the question Of the annexation Of the
Belt and have been in consultation with Mayor
Latrobe on the subject. 1t is the opinion of many
be liberal towards the Belt in the proposed annex
alton, and it is plain that it will have to be if it
ever expects to capture that coveted section. With
the people of the Belt the subject of taxation is the
all-impor.ant one and the city authorities must
remember this and act accordingly, otherwise they
will again meet with certain defeat. The city's
tax rate of SLIGO on the 500 is the great stumbling
hIock

rMr. William Daniel spoke at a temperance
meeting in Baltimore, on Sunday last. Among
other things he said that if the Democratic party
is beaten in 1888 there will then be a large tenn
perance sentiment in the South, and remarked
that the outlook is that the Republican party
would 90 under next year as the Wing party did
in 1852. Continuing he said, after predicting that
a Prohibition President would be elected in 1892
or 1896: "As out of the ashes of the old Wing
party came the Republican party, so out of the
ruins of the Republican party will come the Pro-
hibitiou party. We are voting for an issue, the
ntbara ara voting for Offices"

Me-A committee of Anarchists who waited on
the Mayor of Chicago for the purpose of asking
permission to hold fair readily agreed to fix no
red flags and to allow no incendiary speeches.
But when the Mayor further insisted that no beer
should be sold on the fair grounds the committee
men turned up their noses in disgust and fed from
his Honor's presence. They seemed to think that
an Anarchist fair without beer wouldn't be very
blooming success, and they were right.

Mg-T The Cecil Democrat, which has no special
love for Senator German, calls him to account for
Speaker Carlisle, and also for his position on the
subject of "revenue reform" which does not suit
its kind of Democracy. The Democrat says: "Mr.
German has placed few sayings of his on record
to plague him in any possible future. He is per-
haps the happiest embodiment among all our pub
yer, silence is certainly golden. He has no need
to blot any letters that he may WRITE for he writes
none. He has little need to modify any speech he
may have made, for he makes but few"

MrIn their present efforts to have the city
limits extended the Baltimore authorities propose
to circulate petitions for signature, which petitions
are to be presented to the Legislature followed by
an application for an annexation election at which
the residents of the Belt will vote for or against
the scheme. The present movement contemplates
taking in three miles north and two miles east and
west. 1t is proposed that the Belt be divided into
three sections or districts and that separate vote
be taken in each to ascertain the sentiment of the
neonle on the subject.

ing to $4,000 or $S0,O00 The bulk of it was be-
queathed by will to the Presbyterian Boards Of
Home and Foreign Missions. Since his death,
however heirs and relatives of all degrees of con-
sanguinity, to the number of fifty or more, have
discovered themselves and are contesting the will.
As usual the contest is based on the testamentary
incapacity of Mr.. Wheeler. It is astonishing how
uniformly man who has brains enough to amass
fortune loses the ability to dispose of it properly
in the eyes of the people who are not mentioned
in his will. The frequency of these scandalous
will contests should furnish cause of selfgratu-
atiOn to those who are too poor to leave anything
to be scrambled for after they are dead.

@-Mr. E. s. Riley, editor of the Annapolis
Record, the organ of the Wells Democratic faction
in Anne Arundel county, is no friend of President
Cleveland and is opposed to his denomination. 1t
says: "There are grave reasons why Mr.. Cleve-
land should not be renominated. The plurality
of 1900, by which he escaped being defeated, is
vapory foundation for a grand party to stand on.
This plurality, all concede, was given to him by
two elements-the Independent Tor Mugwump)
vote of the Republicans and the "Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion" of DR.. Burchard. The latter ben
eft, it may be safely said, will never be given to
Mr.. Cleveland again, and the Independent Repub-
lican vote is not SO happy over Mr.. Cleveland as
it used to be- Beside, Henry Ward Beecher is
dead. The increased Democratic vote in his ward
in Brooklyn in 1884 was equal to Cleveland's
whole plurality in the State of New York."
